  1. Dreading L&D/Peds

    schnookimz replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    Yea this sucks. I think you'll be so busy at clinical though that you won't have much time to think about this--at least that's what I am hoping for you!! Focus on the medical side of things rather...

  4. How many pairs of scrubs should I purchase initially?

  5. Sweating in my scrubs... yuck

    schnookimz replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

    I know doctor isn't an option right now, but just want to agree with some of the other posters. I also used to have this problem and it was such a simple fix with a dermatologist that literally...

  6. all nurses come here

    schnookimz replied to soked's topic in General Students

    Generally they sign a consent for treatment when they walk into the ER. This should definitely be done before they get to the floor. And if they won't consent to be treated in the ER, then what the...

  7. How many pairs of scrubs should I purchase initially?

    schnookimz replied to loveoutloud's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I would get 2-3. Nice scrubs are expensive and you may not wear these in your regular

  8. Least busy nursing job??

  9. Least busy nursing job??

    schnookimz replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Nursing Career

    The office job I held was by far the least busy, but perhaps we had more help and less responsibility than you do. For the most part the office patients weren't very sick, at least compared to people...

  10. What would you do???

    schnookimz replied to Missingyou's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  11. What would you do???

    schnookimz replied to Missingyou's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If she is non decisional and you write down "refuse" and are sued, I'm sure they would ask how in the world she refused you. There must be a better word for this. Perhaps "unable to complete" along...

  12. doable?

    schnookimz replied to schoolforever's topic in General Students

    I took it concurrently with my nursing classes and it was

  13. What would you do???

    schnookimz replied to Missingyou's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Maybe I have these above opinions because I worked for years on a neuro floor, but honestly, what's the difference between this and my dementia patient that tells me he needs to leave the hospital to...

  14. What would you do???

    schnookimz replied to Missingyou's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If she has severe dementia and her poa is requesting it, I'm not sure charting that she "refused" is really worth that much. How can she refuse? She has no idea you're trying to help her. Address it...

  15. Worst Medication Error of my life

  17. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

    schnookimz replied to RN*mommy's topic in Western Governors University

    You feel like that's a lot? I had 37 with a previous bachelors degree and it didn't seem like many to me. It's like 10-12 classes? Some of which only require 1-2

  18. Do you need all those degrees?

    schnookimz replied to dnsonthego's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  19. Unit Secret Santa- I got my boss! Help?

    schnookimz replied to Nursing_Mamacita's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What about a mani and pedi at a place near your hospital? Last year I specifically asked them to write the service on the gift certificate instead of the amount it cost and they happily did

  20. interview

    schnookimz replied to SBSN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would never lie about that. Most cnas I know eventually want to become nurses. I don't think that's a surprise to any employer. Also I would never want to work for anyone who doesn't support...

  21. Associates in Nursing -Worried about job

    schnookimz replied to so_good124's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I had a previous bachelors when I graduated from an ADN program. Also had 3 years experience working in the hospital as a nurses aide, and 1 year as an lpn. It took me 5-6 months to find a job. I...

  22. FL RN thinking about relocating to Chicago

    schnookimz replied to Gators2010's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I agree with above poster!!! You know it snows here right?!? The other day I left for work at like 6am and it was so cold, my face

  23. LPN or RN...Based on my circumstances?

    schnookimz replied to MikeDunmire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why would you even think you're under qualified? You have volunteer hours and a high GPA. What are the requirements for the schools you're applying to??? Do you not meet

  25. does this sound extremely unsafe or is this typical??

    schnookimz replied to raindrop's topic in Cardiac

    Never had monitor techs where I come from either. RNs watch their own, no big deal at all, but we don't have post surgical patients. Typically it's just people with history of afib that they stick on...
